Cosmo Daisey (absolutely first rate screen name, BTW!) I'd like to 2nd Clark's request for some documentation from either you or George Gilder. I have a sister-in-law who "knows in her heart" that technology kills all living things, Bamby, trees, earth, water, and the Tooth Fairy. It goes without saying that Rachel and Silent Spring are her mantras. God, if I could demolish that BS once and for all, I might even go to next Thanksgiving's family dinner. Is there really a publication "Since Silent Spring" or am I simply fantasizing? References please. Regards, Mike Doyle

>> The bird issue was mostly pelicans Not so... In Europe, the Peregrine Falcon was severely threatened. The egg shell of birds at the top of the food chain became too thin to support the weight o the brooding parents or the contents of the egg. This was attributed to the extensive use of DDT. BTW The controversy regarding pesticides in the environment was sparked by a book "The Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson. An excellent programme aired on PBS regarding the use of pesticides a year or two ago.
